PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cigna (NYSE:CI) welcomed over 100 new customer service employees at a
ribbon-cutting opening the company’s new health care call center in
North Fayette, as service associates at the new call center began taking
customer calls. Fifty more customer service personnel will be hired by
year-end.

“Cigna focuses on meeting the needs of individuals and providing around
the clock customer service as a competitive differentiator,” said Julia
Huggins, Cigna president for Pennsylvania. “Cigna's investment in the
Pittsburgh region stems from a great pool of talent who are well-suited
to meet the needs of our customers and from our commitment to being part
of a healthy and competitive marketplace in the region.”

Cigna already has major operations in Pittsburgh, which has grown to
approximately 1,500 employees locally working in the company’s new call
center and also in its health coaching and case management center and in
the Cigna disability insurance unit. The new jobs in Pittsburgh result
from growth in the number of Cigna's medical plan customers both
nationally and in western Pennsylvania. Customer service associates
located in Pittsburgh will work to assist customers from many different
states.

In addition to its operations in Pittsburgh, Cigna also has a historic
presence in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that includes nearly 4,000
employees and stretches across the state; including the historic
headquarters of the Life Insurance Company of North America in
Philadelphia and its claims operations center in Scranton.

Cigna is committed to diversity and offers an array of employee benefits
to employees including health, dental and disability insurance. Its
employees are active in the community, which most recently included
Pittsburgh’s inaugural Achilles
International Hope & Possibility Race bringing together more
than 300 volunteers and athletes with disabilities. Cigna has also been
a national title sponsor of the March of Dimes. More than 650 Cigna
employees signed up to participate in the upcoming Pittsburgh walk and
Run for Babies 5K.

In 2009, Cigna became the first health service company to provide its
customers with live 24/7/365 access to its customer service
representatives for medical, dental and pharmacy plan customers and
contracted health care professionals.
